I'm "anti" pragmatism, program-driven church, and seeker sensitivity, but I have great affection for Willow Creek Community Church.

I listen to Coldplay, use wax in my hair, wear distressed denim, hang out in coffee shops and the occasional pub, and, more tellingly, read and love Eugene Peterson and Dallas Willard, but the whole "emerging church" thing rubs me the wrong way.

I listen to and read Mark Driscoll and I've been a stay-at-home dad for over 6 years.

I'm a political conservative who pretty much always votes Republican but the Church's flirtation with politics bothers me a lot.

yeah, I don't really fit into any one box either... in fact, my wife and I have always referred to ourselves as "reformed" but after talking to one of her friends who is a lutheran the other night, she decided that "reformed" just isn't a good word to use. Then we got frustrated because neither one of us could think of a better label.
